Keep the fry in the box, they'll do fine. Do you have fry food? If not, crush whatever you give your adults in a fine powder (Some people put it in plastic bags then grind) or go and buy Hikari First Bites. Continue water changes as normally, it won't hurt fry unless you pour your new water directly onto them. Congratulations on fry! I never got to see my platys birthing, they never showed any signs beforehand
